Fifteen. I collected them as they came out in English. The wait between volumes was tough because the cliffhangers were so good! The exploration of what it means to be a hero without a license is the core theme, and it's handled really well.

The connection is more about filling in the gaps in the main series' timeline than providing a direct lead-in. We see what All Might's heyday looked like from the ground, we see the early careers of several pros, and we see the development of support tech and hero regulations. All 15 volumes contribute pieces to that historical puzzle.

Huh, I would have guessed 14. But I trust the crowd on this one. I'm only a few volumes in, so I've got a lot to look forward to, apparently!

It's eight. I've seen some people ask if there will be more, but no, the story is complete. The author and artist told the story they wanted to tell within those eight volumes, and it shows in the tight plotting.
Every side character feels necessary, and even minor villains get moments that humanize them. The eighth volume is a perfect capstone, offering a glimpse into the future of the characters we've grown to love. The English versions are widely available, and they're often stocked in the manga section of big bookstores. You can start and finish the entire saga without waiting for new releases.

I'm noticing a pattern in the replies, and it's correct. Three volumes. What I find more engaging to talk about is whether the spin-off's ending enhanced the main series for you. For me, it added layers to certain characters and events in 'My Hero Academia' that I wouldn't trade for anything. The final volume, especially, is a treasure trove of connections.

Honestly, just follow the official volume release order. Viz Media's volumes are the way to go. The fan scans might have uploaded chapters out of sequence years ago, but the collected volumes present it as intended.
You start with 'Illegals' (the early subtitle) and go straight through. It's a complete story now, so you can binge the whole thing without waiting for new chapters, which is a nice feeling.

The only exception to the 'volume order' rule is maybe the extra chapters or side stories, but those are usually included in the relevant volumes anyway. So the rule still stands.
The collected volumes are the definitive, in-order experience. Anything else is just scattered chapters. Publishers spend a lot of time deciding what goes in each volume to create a satisfying reading experience. We should probably trust them on this one.

Just chiming in to confirm the consensus: 15. I'm re-reading it now, and you can really see the careful plotting. Foreshadowing in volume 3 pays off in volume 12, that kind of thing. It was clearly planned as a finite story, which is why Koichi's arc feels so coherent and complete.

Not sure about the exact placement myself, but I’d love to hear where others think it slots in. That spin-off timeline always gets me a bit mixed up.

It's a relief to see a question where the answer is so universally agreed upon. No faction wars, no 'sub vs. dub' level arguments. Just a consensus: start at Volume 1, end at Volume 15. What a peaceful fandom corner this is.
